Faculty Career Plan Policy

This is a plan for the appointment, advancement, and compensation of faculty
members of Northwestern Michigan College. It is designed to facilitate the
recruitment and retention of excellent instructors, to clarify terms of
appointment, and to establish principles that recognize professional
achievement. The career plan combines three ideas valued by the College:

It is reasonably objective and predictable.

It recognizes experience and academic preparation.

It provides advancement based on professional achievement.

The career plan is subject to approval and modification as defined by the
then-current Board of Trustees and Staff Policies.
